For those of you invertebrates who don't think that Naked and Afraid is a doc, I'll name a few of my favorites (you can Google them, I'm in no mood to cut and paste links). Fuck, maybe y'all will learn something
1. Anything by Ken Burns. Duh. I never watched Jazz because I don't like Jazz but I did watch the C/W one. It was good and I don't like C/W, goat ropin' music.
2. The World at War. Great WWII series. The real highlight is Larry Olivier's narration. When showing the Maginot Line "The guns would stop the Hun. Provided the Hun came this way" Cooooooooooooooool
3. The Great War. A YouTube doc, made by the great Indy Neidell. I did it week by week, from July 2014 to November 2018, 100 years to the dy. Many extra episodes, biographies, home front stuff, even even all about the weapons from C&Rsenal. You can go from knowing shit about WWI and be an expert. 700+ 10 minute episodes. He's doing WWII now. I will link this
4. Battlefield. Great WWII doc. Informative as all get out. Takes separate battles, not chronologically. I read a shitload of books about Normandy and never got why the hedgerows were so tough. Three minutes watching this and I got. Good narration
5. New York: A Documentary Film. Ken Burns' little bro Ric. Very nifty history on NYC. Oddly, never never mentions baseball or the Mafia. Still good, good narration by David Ogden Stiers (the fat major from MASH)
6. Cinema Europe: The Other Hollywood. Yeah, not to everyone's taste. The story of the silent movie era in Europe. Really good. Great narration by Kenneth Branaugh, nearly as good as Olivier's. Only problem, YouTube in missing one episode.
Feel free to name your favorites.
